Untitled

Frothed, fluffed and tufted throughout the collections in every shade known to nature (and some beyond), fur was a centrepiece of the Autumn/Winter 2009-10 collections. Despite the season, this was fur as instrument of seduction rather than survival, sensually smothering the figure in a tactile and all-enveloping noose of luxury. To showcase the impressionistic qualities of the latest designer offerings, fashion filmmaker Ruth Hogben collaborated with stylist Francesca Burns to create this enigmatically untitled short exclusively for SHOWstudio.com: a moving, pulsing study of abstracted texture and dark, saturated colour.
